Great nreDarations are beintr made at the exposition grounds in Charleston for the coming Interstate Exposition. We think Union should send a large delegation to the exposition, and from what we hear we think she will. It will bo the grandest thing ever seen in this state and should receive a liberal patronage from every section. We have received a copy of the paper read by Mies R. M. L. before the missionary society of Sedalia, which ij a beautiful tribute to the memory of the late and lamented Miss Mattie Browning, who was a most diligent aud faithful worker in that society. We have not sufficient open space to insert it this ' week but will do so in our next issue. Dennis Thomson was convicted last week on the charge of having burned Mr. T E. Cofleld's twrn some months ago. He was recommended to the mercy of the court and a sentence of ten years at hard labor in the peniten nary was imposed, witnout a recommendation to the mercy of the court he would have been sentenced to hang. We hope this will have a tendency to put a check on these tire bugs. The Truth Publishing Co., of Spartanburg, has been granted a charter by the Secretary of State with a capital of $20,000.

In Itehalf of the citizens of the town and especially those who are comladled to rise early, we thank the com- va missioners for this action upon their part, j,, and tru?t that the extra remuneration pt, from additional subscribers will over balance any extra expense the burning S ) of the lights ail night have incurred. We hear nothing but expressions com- p, mending the commissioners for this ac- Sl, tion. While weave about it we will say 'eo that the Union street lights arc not sur- q, passed anywhere. This was brought w forcibly to our attention when we weie ?v. in Spartanburg this week, and while Spartanburg is said to have a veiy line u<: system of lights we do not think the street lights compare with our brilliant arc lamps. This is How They Talk. J' The following sentence taken from a letter just received from a subscriber in r, Arksansas, shows how Tn.: Times is appreciated abroad: "Enclos d liad one ar dollar for renewal to The Times to 1902. Wi My time js not out but 1 don't aim for tij it to stop." He knows how to appreciate a good thing when ho sees it. w] * * 0 * ta Dr. hinder Says: ju "Enclosed And one dollar to pay for ->t The Uxiox Times to 1902. I was in hi your town the past Christmas after an oil absence of fifteen years, and I actually di didn't know the town. Whenever mv di time expires to The Times notify me of but dr. not stop the paper." This is ee another evidence that our far-away pi menus appreciates tiie times as a wel- nt come visitor. We can very well imagine pe that Dr. Lander was astonished at the won- pi derful growth of our town during the 1"? at years of his absence. Dr. E. L. Linger 01 is a resident of Black foot, Texas. We. hope he will not make the time between his visits so long in the future. * * * Essential to Happiness. g tl In a letter just received from our of friend Mr. W. II.

A. Meehan, the famous dog le trainer, gave three exhibitions in Union ?h last week with his thirteen trained dogs. A free show was given in the streets in ' which the two grey hounds, Mark and j ?>s FJy, were made to do some astonishing j^l leaping. They leaped a distance of some ko .10 feet clearing an obstacle 11 feet high. This was astonishing to our citizens, but gr it was only a small sample of the aston- S( ishing performance of the dogs upon the stage. We can safely say that no such til exhibition of brute intelligence was ever st witnessed in the city before. The dogs lo were made to do almost everything ex- as cept talk, and they went so far as to fr work tbeir mouths as if endeavoring to in speak to the professor. We do not mind w giving credit when credit is due, and we It confess that we have never seen any- lg thing to equal this dog show. Prof, fe Meehan has been training dogs since ho <?t was six years old, and lie has gotten it ii> down tine. To Vive briefly an idea of cc how the dogs performed. Two dogs to represented Fitzsimmona and Jeffries, kt wore boxing gloves, and fought three fo rounds as natural as the professionals ea they represented, even included the ar knock-out blow. The referee was shot, ar the murderer was hunted down and to hanged, the scaffold being built by the ar dogs. A hearse was used and a funeral w procession followed the remains. Mrs. w; and Mr. Malony comes in rolling their l* baby in the carriugt, take seats and T spend a pleasant evening, while another m dog rolls the baby about in the fresh air. th There were three clown dogs that kept G the house in u roar. The dogs walked sp about on their hind feet as natural as fr fol ks, one (log made several ci rcles around ot the stage with a hind and a front foot off the same side clear off the flixur. The af acrobatic dog, Dan, is a wonder, and turns backwards lighting on his hind Pi feet with ferfect ease. The dogs all know their names and seem to thoroughly understand every word spoken to them. They showed to a very good business here, and we cau say that lho?e who N foiled to ess th# show missed a treat, a| A Close Shu ve. A ?eiiou* lire was narro>vlv averted at i?

Ufion approaching the city we ere struck with the improved appearice f tiiis side of the town. We jtieed that a large number of new lil tings had bjen erected since iast we ere mere, and they add materially to ? f irmer appearance of this end of wu. We noticed that there were wral vacant spire houses for rent, but is is possibly accounted for by the fact at ipiite a number of new stores have nu tniilt recently, and the merchants ii, to soyie extent, take choice of store onn. We found none of those that ; .h- lut wl i,Mhln un<l Am* iLi'i . til y it'll i ir-.111 <n fit; nuu uiof^ici-.i, cant.

The street cars give Spar bin burg rite the appearance of an up-to-date ty. The sight, made us wish our street r company would hurry up and get nion's c ?rs running. There has been so much moving around ice we wete last in Spurlatilmi'g that i* had some ddliculty i:i locating some otfi acquaintances and friends.

The readers will remember that some eeks ago the pupils of the Union jaded School wrote several letters to ie pupils of one of the graded schools 'Boston, Mass., regarding the culture id manufacture of cotton. The pupils ? the sixth grade in the Bunker Ilill rammar School have replied to those ttnrfl tlnoi ri I ii rur illicit* attrl u..?no raps of history connected with the site pan which tlie school is built.
